A Happy Birthday

Today The Mad Monarchist fondly marks the birthday of the great Austrian monarchist and political writer Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, author of "Liberty or Equality". Here was one of the few staunch monarchists to actually make himself widely known in the conservative circles of America thanks to his many years of writing for National Review (he hated Woodrow Wilson before hating Woodrow Wilson was 'cool'). He was a brilliant man and we can only be sorry there are not more of his kind around today. Happy birthday mein herr, wherever you may be...

A good friend of Archduke Otto, he spoke many languages, including Hungarian. He was the first one to point out the 'leftistness' and revolutionary charachter of National Socialism and many would follow. A great political philosopher and a noble monarchist indeed.
